He explained that he wants to keep working on his music, promising to "just keep on moving, just keep at it, keep doing what I love to do", and that he will be "watching [James] and rooting for him all the way".

"Hats off to this guy, because I love his voice," he said. "You've got a big future, honest to God. I don't forget people like you... We went through this together."
